  "summary": "Enugu Rangers, a Nigerian club, has advanced to the second qualifying round of the CAF Champions League. They defeated Benin's AS Sobemap 5-4 in a penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their tie in Togo's capital, Lome. The aggregate score was 2-2.\n\nThe match was played at the Stade de Kegue in Lome, as Benin lacks an international-standard stadium. Rangers took the lead in the 22nd minute from an own goal, but Sobemap equalized with 25 minutes remaining. The game went straight into penalties, which Rangers won 5-4.\n\nRangers will face Algerian club MC Algers in the second preliminary round, according to the Daily Post Nigeria.",
